Light

Koko Kanu Jamaica £3.10
This could be classed as flavoured rum but we prefer to call it a superior, white rum with coconut flavours. A great alternative to Malibu and coke or peach schnapps.

Havana Blanco Cuba £3.20An elegant, white rum with a subtle sweetness. Well balanced and light tasting, it’s a rum for all occasions.

El Dorado 3 Year Guyana £3.50 / £70 bottle*With an age-old culture of rum-making, this rum is filled with tropical flavours aged for three years. It is distilled twice and spent its time in ex-bourbon oak barrels to guarantee a high standard.

Rebellion White Rum Caribbean £3.60With peppermint and spices in its taste, and black pepper on the nose, this new addition to our rum list is quickly becoming one of our favourites.

* All mixers are complimentary with any bottle purchased

Gold

Cockspur 5 Star Rum Barbados £3.20
Barbados is generally regarded as the birthplace of rum so it’s no coincidence that this is a particularly high quality rum, with buttery and spicy flavours.

Inner Circle Rum Red Austrialia £3.40Not quite as famous as the notorious Bundaberg collection, however we prefer this extra spiced golden rum with an Aussie grip.

Sangsom Thailand £3.20
Remember those back-packing experiences through South-East Asia? Us neither, and this is probably why not. A surprisingly good rum from Thailand.

Brugal Anejo Rum Dominican Republic £3.20
The fifth generation of this family are still producing this first-rate rum, highly regarded at home and abroad. A rich, aged rum with toasty aromas of light toffee and hints of molasses. Matches well with ginger beer and lime due to its smooth taste on the palate.

Chairman’s Reserve St Lucia £3.20 / bottle £60*
This award-winning rum distillery has produced a number of excellent varieties but we think this is one of its best. Word of warning: added to this rum is ‘bois bande’, a locally regarded, potent aphrodisiac!

Ron de Jeremy Panama £3.50
The infamous Ron Jeremy combines with the legendary Cuban distiller Francesco Fernandez to produce a rum far from novelty. Not overly sweet but one that works with the long finish to its taste.

Havana Club Anejo Especial Cuba £3.20Havana Club Anejo Especial is a premium golden blend of rums aged for up to 5 years in the cellars of Havana Club in Cuba.

Spiced

RedLeg Caribbean £3.20 / £70 bottle*
This spiced rum with a ginger aroma is named after a hermit crab native to the area and is left to rest in old oak barrels and infused with Jamaican vanilla and ginger creating a very smooth-tasting rum with a hint of sweet spice.

Chairman’s Reserved Spiced St Lucia £3.20/£60 bottle*
We already have a rum from this distiller on this list, however this complex spiced rum with cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg flavours – beautiful neat or with a mixer – makes it worth having another.

Pink Pigeon Mauritius £3.20
This sweet, light and smooth rum is popular with our female drinkers and guys in touch with their feminine side.

Kraken Spiced Rum Caribbean £3.20
Only introduced to the UK in 2010, this spiced rum has already made a name for itself in a competitive market. With rich strong flavours it goes well with any mixer.

Rebellion Spiced Trinidad & Tobago £3.60This excellent spiced rum is full of flavours including apricot, vanilla and cinnamon. Made in a distillery founded in 1824, it’s fantastic for a rum and coke or simply on the rocks.

Rumbullion Caribbean £3.40
A superior spiced rum. Cloves, orange peel, vanilla and cardamom all make an appearance in this delicious drink. Can be had on its own, mixed or just over ice and a lookthat distinguishes itself from the crowd.

Brugal Dry Spiced Dominican Republic £3.30More commonly used in cocktails, this is slightly less sweet than its brothers and we also adore over ice.

* All mixers are complimentary with any bottle purchased

Premium

Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva RumVenezuela £4.00 / £90 bottle*
The one that started it all off! This rich, sweet and fruity rum is our favourite; it was during a brain-storming evening drinking this, that the rum shack was created. Should only be drunk neat.

Ron Zacapa 23 Guatemala £3.80An unusual, crafted rum that utilizes the high altitude, soil and climate of its origins. Great with a sweet dessert to bring out the flavours of leather, tobacco, ginger and much more.

La Hechicera Rum Columbia £3.90
Using American white oak casks with rums aged between 12 and 21 years, this golden in colour rum has an excellent sharp crispness to it. Pronounced etch-ee-seh-rah, the meaning is Spanish for enchantress.

Mount Gay 1703 Barbados £10.80
A superb blend of rum aged between 10 and 30 years! While Mount Gay have a great variety, this rum stands out by a mile.

Overproof

Wray & Nephew Jamaica £3.80
At 63% ABV this overproof rum is hard-hitting to the palate, but it hasn’t stopped it becoming the biggest seller in Jamaica. Also matches with the fruit drink Ting, to make the classic cocktail.

Plantation Original Dark Overproof Trinidad & Tobago £3.80
This golden rum has hints of dried banana, oak and nutmeg, not to mention the fiery warmth you expect in a rum of this strength.

Old J Tiki Fire Caribbean £3.80Strong and sweet, this blended rum is a big kick substitute for those who wish to dip their feet in the overproof range.

Dark / Navy

Skipper Rum Guyana £3.20
With hints of caramel and treacle, this is an excellent rum. However its claim to be the best rum may have been correct in 1930, but today, the answer is up to you.

Goslings Black Seal Rum Bermuda £3.30
Better known in the cocktail ‘Dark n Stormy’, this family business for over two centurieshas produced a cleverly full-flavoured dark rum. The original cork was sealed with black wax, hence its name. Goslings is today the only company that blends and bottles in Bermuda.

Pussers Navy Rum West Indies £3.20There is a case for claiming this rum held the British Empire together during the Royal Navy’s dominance. From 1655 until 1970 a ‘tot’ was issued to servicemen before battle commenced, making this rum one’s own Dutch courage.

O.V.D. Demerara Rum Guyana £3.40Since 1838 this rum has been imported to become Scotland’s favourite dark rum. Often drank with fresh orange juice this is an old-styled, flavoursome rum.

Flavoured

Ron Aguere Caramelo Canary Islands £3.10
A mixture of rum and caramel toffee is an attractive alternative to the norm for those with a sweet tooth.

Ron Miel Guajino Canary Island £3.10
With honey rum becoming increasingly popular, we had to make sure we chose the right one for our list, and with this premium rum bringing together the honey and rum to give a sweet long run on the palate, we think we have.

Barcardi Limon Cuba £3.10This is a very versatile rum from the makers at Bacardi, with lemon, grapefruit and peach all making an appearance. You can drink this with anything.

There Will Be Blood £8.00
One of our favourite films and one of our favourite drinks too: Pyrat XO rum, Luxardo maraschino, blood orange juice, lime and orange bitters.

Old Fashioned Diplomat £8.00
No nonsense and straight up, in this the rum speaks for itself.

Cranium £7.95
A love for whiskey and a love for tiki brought us to this smoky yet sweet delight: Hibiki Japanese whiskey, Koko Kanu, Laphroig, orange juice, lemon, orgeat, Angostura and peach bitters. Play the game.

Smoked Vieux Carre £9.00
Inspired by the New Orleans classic, this stirred mix of the sumptuous Ron Zacapa 12 year rum, Benedictine, Remy Martin cognac, and cherry bitters, smoked by cherry flavoured wood chips will bring Robert Johnson’s blues to the room.

Getting Caught In The Rain £7.95If you like Pina Coladas… you should like our deconstructed version. A stirred combination of pineapple-infused Havana Blanco, Koko Kanu, coconut water and Angostura bitters.
